Some people have issues seeing beyond their ass since their head's so far up it.
O'Reilly "calls out" those on the left when they're "wrong", when they "mess up", and when they "spin". He "demonizes" them and talks down on them to "show the truth". Naturally, many on the left believe that all to be BS.
Olbermann does the exact same damn thing, but because he's doing it against those on the right, somehow he's just magically completely different and soooooooo much better.
Their both pointless blowhards that do nothing but push their own agenda in the name of semi-news. |
Actually, for me, the reason I have tended to prefer Olberman to O'Reilly is not that Olberman is left, but because Olberman is more entertaining. O'Reilly is largely boring, Olberman usually has some good, funny stuff on each show.
I won't watch any more, at least for awhile, after last nights show, since his attacks on McCain where a perfect example of what I think is wrong with politics today...but even then, I still got some chuckles from the show.
